If Biggio keeps it up I could see them shuffling him over to 1B and giving him a shot as well. There are also many who don't think Vlad's glove will play at 3B in the majors, and if not he will likely end up as a 1B long term. Time will tell.

Yeah, apparently he's loading his hands lower and that's getting him some more bat speed (and he's kept his patience so pitchers can't throw him junk and expect he'll swing through it). He plays a good 2nd base from what I've heard so it'd be a waste to put him at 1B. I figure Bichette ends up at 3rd base as well. If they're here next year then they can cut Morales move Smoak to DH and fit everyone in.

SRF is having a great year, Plus they've got Romero and Zuech (who I figure is more likely a #4/#5 guy) up at AA . The Jays have arms in the system... It's just that you can't really bank on any of them being #1 or #2 guys.
